| 00:29.00 | starlon | I need to update it, but I just wiped my hard drive cause I thought I was being hacked. :( But while Ubuntu installed again, I went and took another picture of StarVisuals. It's totally awesome now. :) I have the starts of a clone of Winamp's AVS programmable music visualization plugin using Lua. It's got a long way to go though. For now, here's lvAnalyzer. :) http://starlon.lyrical.net/starvisuals.php |
| 00:29.56 | starlon | I don't think the apk available there is very new. Not sure when I released last. |
| 00:30.17 | starlon | I need to setup my Android dev environment again. |
| 02:01.08 | starlon | Proof I'm being hacked. http://starlon.lyrical.net/hacked.php |
| 02:01.15 | starlon | I'm not crazy. |

| 03:33.16 | seebs | Someone was asking about click-casting addons; basically, being able to bind button combos like "shit+left" or "ctrl+right" on a frame to do different things. I can't think of a way to do this, but I'm not stupendous with the API yet. |
| 03:33.46 | Nivlix | hmmm thats a good question |
| 03:34.11 | Nivlix | i know we can set a frame to run a macro with mouse button downs but i dont know if there can be modifiers to it |
| 03:34.19 | Nivlix | maybe with custom events |
| 03:34.51 | Nivlix | make a custom event for the frame for frame.event.shiftmousebuttondown? |
| 03:36.41 | Nivlix | seebs is there a way to delete a frame with code once its created? |
| 03:36.46 | seebs | No. |
| 03:36.51 | seebs | Frames cannot be deleted. |
| 03:37.15 | seebs | The canonical answer is, stash them on a spare frames list, and use a frame off that list in preference to creating a new one. |
| 03:38.03 | Nivlix | nod |
| 03:38.19 | Nivlix | im trying to think of how im going to do my party/raid frames |
| 03:38.52 | Nivlix | instead of having the frames constantly loaded after the first time they join a party/raid, i was hoping to create them on party join and drop them on party leave |
| 03:39.24 | Nivlix | i wonder what would happen if i created the frame as an entry in a table, and then did table.remove :P |
| 03:40.01 | seebs | It'd leak. |
| 03:40.05 | Nivlix | meh |
| 03:40.12 | seebs | Basically, you can't really delete frames, and they aren't garbage collected. |
| 03:40.13 | Nivlix | eh well, no biggie |
| 03:40.35 | seebs | So basically, do something like table.insert(mypartyframestash, frame) |
| 03:41.04 | *** join/#riftuidev starlon_ (~starlon@tx-71-2-120-54.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) |
| 03:41.18 | seebs | And then later, if #mypartyframestash > 0 then retval = mypartyframestash[1]; table.remove(mypartyframestash, 1) else retval = makenewpartyframe() end |
| 03:42.29 | Nivlix | hmmmm |
| 03:42.31 | Nivlix | thank you seebs |
| 03:43.02 | Torhal | Huh |
| 03:43.14 | Torhal | Why would it leak? If you're using a table to store/remove frames... |
| 03:43.20 | Torhal | That's typical recycling. |
| 03:43.27 | Nivlix | because the frame itself wont actually get removed |
| 03:43.30 | Nivlix | only the pointer to it |
| 03:43.37 | Torhal | You'd hide it and store it in the table |
| 03:43.47 | Torhal | Then when a new one is needed, remove one of the stored ones. |
| 03:43.55 | Torhal | If no stored ones, THEN create one. |
| 03:43.59 | Nivlix | oh, yeah thats what seebs is saying to do |
| 03:44.02 | Torhal | Ah. |
| 03:44.08 | seebs | Hah, found an awesome bug. |
| 03:44.12 | Torhal | I thought that's what you were asking about when he said it would leak |
| 03:44.17 | starlon_ | files a seebs report. |
| 03:44.21 | seebs | Equip a 1H weapon. Mouseover a shield. Look at the comparison stuff. :) |
| 03:44.29 | starlon_ | lol |
| 03:44.33 | Nivlix | what i asked was what would happen if i created them as entries in a table and then did a table.remove to try and delete it |
| 03:44.46 | Nivlix | thats when he said it would leak |
| 03:44.48 | seebs | Why, yes, I WOULD lose 7.3dps. If I replaced my weapon with this. Which I can't. |
| 03:45.06 | starlon_ | :) |
| 03:45.42 | Nivlix | man i think i really really need to re-evaluate all the code i already have for my UI after everything you guys have tought me lol |
| 03:54.04 | starlon | It's good to look it over and make small changes. Do it enough and you find mistakes you've made. |
| 03:54.36 | starlon | Do a massive overhaul each version change. |
| 03:54.43 | starlon | major version |
| 03:54.49 | starlon | not massive :) |
| 03:55.01 | starlon | Keep it the same, but better. |
| 03:55.08 | Nivlix | yeah i know what you meant :D |
| 03:55.12 | starlon | :) |
| 03:55.18 | Nivlix | right now im trying to figure out how to fix my issue with the rogue combo points |
| 03:55.28 | starlon | ah |
| 03:55.31 | starlon | what's wrong? |
| 03:55.33 | Nivlix | something in the way im hiding and unhiding them makes em get stuck |
| 03:55.40 | starlon | oh |
| 03:56.07 | Nivlix | it starts out fine, works for a while, then for some reason when im at 0 combo points, some will still be visible |
| 03:56.23 | Nivlix | have to /reloadui to make em start working properly again |
| 03:56.47 | starlon | are you accounting for 1-based tables? |
| 03:56.52 | Nivlix | yep |
| 03:58.15 | Nivlix | and actually with those i dont have them in a table like that |
| 03:58.20 | Nivlix | its just 5 individual frames |
| 03:58.20 | starlon | ah |
| 03:58.23 | starlon | oh |
| 03:58.40 | Nivlix | that i have it set up to hide/unhide the proper amount based on the number of combo points the player currently has |
| 03:58.41 | starlon | how are you hiding them? |
| 03:58.52 | starlon | nods. |
| 03:59.35 | Nivlix | it grabs player info, checks if its nil, then if not nil it checks player.combo, if its nil it sets visible to false on all 5 |
| 04:00.03 | Nivlix | if its not nil, it passes through an if/elseif statement for each of the 5 possibilities |
| 04:00.24 | Nivlix | so if its 2 it will setvisible to true on the first 2 and false on the last 3 |
| 04:00.25 | starlon | I'm not up-to-date on commands. Do you set a variable to hide them? Or is there a :Hide() function? |
| 04:00.26 | Nivlix | etc. |
| 04:00.38 | Nivlix | its :SetVisible(true/false) |
| 04:00.45 | starlon | ah |
| 04:01.06 | starlon | Just for sanity see if you can hide based on alpha transparency. |
| 04:02.09 | Nivlix | i will give that a shot, i had started using setvisible because if its false the frame wont intercept mouseclicks, but those frames dont have hooking anyways so it wont matter on them |
| 04:02.45 | starlon | Yeah I always use alpha. You can even move something off screen. |
| 04:03.03 | starlon | But alpha's cheaper. |
| 04:03.10 | Nivlix | another thing i was thinking was redoing that whole function based on what seebs was just telling me |
| 04:03.19 | starlon | nods. |
| 04:03.20 | Nivlix | about stashing the frames in a table |
| 04:03.25 | starlon | nods. |
| 04:03.35 | starlon | Yeah, very good idea, but why are you creating new frames? |
| 04:03.43 | Nivlix | im not |
| 04:03.47 | starlon | Oh |
| 04:03.49 | Nivlix | and i wouldnt necessarily be there either |
| 04:03.55 | starlon | ah |
| 04:03.58 | Nivlix | make all 5 at the start if its a rogue |
| 04:04.01 | Nivlix | and stash em |
| 04:04.10 | starlon | I thought you were needing to recycle frames. |
| 04:04.16 | Nivlix | thats for party |
| 04:04.20 | starlon | Oh |
| 04:04.23 | Nivlix | but i want to fix this first |
| 04:04.28 | Nivlix | but what im thinking is this |
| 04:04.29 | starlon | nods. |
| 04:04.34 | Nivlix | make two tables |
| 04:04.42 | Nivlix | combo{} and combostash{} |
| 04:04.57 | starlon | o.O |
| 04:05.02 | Nivlix | as i gain and lose points move them into and out of combo{} |
| 04:05.08 | starlon | I'm not following. |
| 04:05.11 | Nivlix | then have a single for loop to place them |
| 04:05.16 | starlon | Oh |
| 04:06.41 | Nivlix | hell i dont know :( i will have to play with it, and see what i can come up with |
| 04:06.57 | starlon | nods. |
| 04:07.25 | Nivlix | hmmm |
| 04:07.40 | Nivlix | if combo > 0 then |
| 04:07.56 | Nivlix | for i = 1 to combo do |
| 04:08.10 | Nivlix | combo[i]:SetVisible(true) |
| 04:08.15 | Nivlix | or something along those lines |
| 04:08.23 | starlon | nods. |
| 04:08.33 | Nivlix | but that still doesnt hide the extras when i go down in points |
| 04:09.33 | Nivlix | all i know is right now the whole UI code is a mess and I need to go through it and clean it up, there has to be better ways to accomplish whats already being done |
| 04:09.57 | starlon | nods. |
| 04:10.51 | Nivlix | considering i have 415 line of code just for the functions that handle health/mana/secondary resource, JUST for player/pet/target :P haha |
| 04:11.09 | Nivlix | that doesnt include creating, sizing, and placing the frames themselves :P |
| 06:20.03 | seebs | ZorbaGama: Did you see the brilliant trick someone posted for realtime import of data from the enivronment into an addon? |
| 06:20.27 | seebs | Long story short: You construct a file name at runtime, you :SetTexture with it, you check width. You now have an item of data. Repeat as desired. |
| 06:20.49 | seebs | It's not efficient or anything, but it's definitely a way to get data from external programs into addons while the game is running. |

| 10:48.14 | lXl | I'm happy, I created a javascript object for registering events to mouse/keyboard :D |
| 10:49.40 | lXl | eventRegister.add(function,binding) and .remove, will register the functions to the appropriate mouse/key bind and will return x,y to the function if a mouse binding, supports multiple functions per binding too and trims arrays |

| 11:22.18 | ZorbaGama | quite good :) it's nice being able to work on this project |
| 11:22.24 | ZorbaGama | gonna be kinda sad once it's getting wrapped up |
| 11:22.59 | ZorbaGama | still got a ways to go, definitely, but the todo list is shrinking quickly |
| 11:24.02 | lXl | Yeah, sounds like it's a pretty awesome position. |
| 11:24.46 | lXl | You've been doing a lot of good work so far, makes me sad I haven't really played Rift lately |
| 11:25.01 | ZorbaGama | thanks :) and it'll still be around when you get back to it |
| 11:25.06 | lXl | Speaking of, I got locked out of my account pretty bad. The secondary email I use for Rift only.. I can't recover my password :( |
| 11:25.16 | ZorbaGama | oops :( |
